CyberHeart presents a publishing competition

Investigational Cardiac Radiosurgery

$3,000

PRIZE

CyberHeart is proud to collaborate with Cureus on the first publishing competition of its kind: Advanced Retrospective Studies for the Investigational Use of Non-invasive Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Cardiac Arrhythmia and Other Cardiovascular Conditions. We are seeking the following article submissions:

Cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, can be treated effectively with catheter ablation (CA). However, many patients fail or cannot undergo CA due to inaccessible substrate or comorbidities. Non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery is being investigated for safety and effectiveness in targeting and ablating the left superior and inferior pulmonary veins. In limited feasibility clinical trials, preliminary outcomes under an IRB / FDA approved trial have observed early positive subject outcomes with no procedural complications. Investigational studies are ongoing.

This competition was designed to promote continued scientific discovery and knowledge sharing for this potential new frontier in the area of radiobiology for cardiac arrhythmia. All articles published as part of this competition will be indexed in PubMed Central and distributed to large communities of relevant clinicians around the globe. We encourage you to contribute!

Unrestricted educational grants for this competition have been provided by CyberHeart.
